Throughout 2018, our Serving Justice project is exploring relationships between individual rights, community responsibilities, and the equitable distribution of opportunity.

Serving Justice is bringing professional artists from divergent disciplines into residence in our city's most challenged neighborhoods, each to develop a piece advancing "liberty and justice for all"  whether civil, social, cultural, or economic.

City residents are essential collaborators on the creation of new visual and performing artworks  interweaving their experiences, creating shared narratives that promote understanding beyond the boundaries of culture, class and community.

Please join us in our Manayunk studio and around the city as we showcase diverse public art and ideas about how to make it better!
